One of the more curious racial aspects of this case has been behavior of the girlfriends and estranged wife. As I understand it, all of Reginald Carr's girlfirend's (Stephanie Donley, Rachelle Cossman) and estranged wife Mandy have been defense witnesses or at least (in Donley's case) less- than-willing prosecution witnesses. I gather from the context of discussion on this and other sites that all of the women mentioned above are white. In contrast, Jonathan Carr's black girlfriend, Tronda Adams and her mother Toni Greene were all quite willing to offer condemning testimony. So, to paraphrase a question asked about a year ago by the American Indian columnist David Yaegley: What is it that is creating such idiotic, sexually depraved, immoral, and self-destructive white females?? The black women had no qualms about turning these monsters in, which indicates at least some level of moral responsibility, while the white women are utterly clueless.

What is it that is creating such idiotic, sexually depraved, immoral, and self-destructive white females??

It has been my observation that many marginal or disenfranchised white women are attracted to black men because the latter constitute a way of thumbing their nose at convention, of joining forces with another historically disenfranchised group and finding their lacking identity therein. These are not people who can be counted on to make elevated moral judgments.

Of course, this isn't close to true in every case, but here, where the depravity of the crimes is so obvious, any defense offered smacks of either duty, denial, or defiance. Something like the OJ jury, only non-binding.
